-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@xxxxxxx>

USB HID: hiddev - fix race between hiddev_send_event() and hiddev_release()
    
There is a small race window in which hiddev_release() could corrupt the
list that is being processed for new event in hiddev_send_event().
Synchronize the operations over this list.
